Commitment to Life Long Learning

It is my personal belief that if we are to say that everyone should be a "life long learner" than we, as educators, should model this. To this end, I have sought out opportunities to be a "life long learner" through both programs and individual learning experiences that directly relate back to my students, and staff members educational experiences.
